Dear James: The handle and lock on my back storm/screen door has broken from years of use. Is that something that can be repaired, and are there more durable options?—Dennis W.
Dear Dennis: The handle on the screen door, especially one leading to the backyard, often gets more abuse than other doors. It is used more by the kids, often carrying things, and it fatigues and breaks off. Consider replacing it with a locking latch and doorknob instead of a standard push-button handle.
